Upcoming Trainings
When war or disaster strikes, children’s lives can change overnight. The Children and War Foundation (CAW) has developed evidence-based methods to help large groups of children cope with fear and trauma.
We offer training in the use of our manuals, prioritising partnerships with organisations and institutions that provide mental health and psychosocial support to children in resource-constrained humanitarian settings. This ensures our work is part of integrated, sustainable, and coordinated responses.
Organisations interested in training can contact us directly. We also offer regular open trainings — both online and in person — and recommend the training programmes run by our sister organisation, CAW UK.
